DOMINIK's POVI looked into the mirror as I stood at the sink. The bags sitting under my eyes, showed how tired I was. I turned on the tap and watched the water flow into the sink.The strange pang I felt in my chest seemed to grow everyday. I could not shake it off and it haunted me. My mind trailed to Claire and how I had undeniably hurt her once again.I wished, that i could tell Claire the whole reason why Cora was here. I wished she knew why I treated Cora like this. It was all for the greater good. I needed to keep Cora here as an asset. I could not lose her, or let something grave happen to her.But, was I going to lose Claire instead?I shook my head to dispel such thoughts and placed my hand under the running water. I splashed a considerable amount on my face and ran my hands into my hair.I looked in the mirror once again, and went grim. My face was a mess, and so was my heart. What exactly did I want? I wanted whatever was good for my clan, but I also did not want to lose m

CLAIRE's POV“Get your hands off me!” I screamed as I squirmed around.My struggling only caused him to hold unto me tighter. I struggled some more, determined to break free from his tight grip.“Claire-““Do not call my name!” I yelled.I did not know where this courage was coming from, but I was livid, sad even. All those emotions sparked something within me. It eliminated my fear. I was not scared of what Dominik might do to me. “Stop squirming around and listen to me!” Dominik bellowed at me.But his tone did not faze me one bit. I kept up the struggle, but the difference in strength was obvious. Dominik grabbed me by the waist and hauled me all the way to the bed. He threw to the bed and it bounced as I fell on it.Dominik hovered over me, and through the dim lights of the bedside lamp, I could see his eyes glimmer with something I would not have expected.A hunger.As he stayed put on top of me, I felt goose bumps crawl up my skin. He reached out to me and cupped my cheeks, whi

CLAIRE's POV“I said, leave her alone,” I boomed again, just as the wolf turned her back on me.I was trembling, shaking in my boots, but I was not about to back out just because she told me to. I would never be able to live with myself if I left a friend alone to be bullied and beat up while I stood there and watched like some coward.The wolf turned back to me and glared at me.“Did you not hear what I said, or are you deaf now?”The other wolves around her laughed and giggled within themselves.“Why don’t you teach her a lesson Tana?!” One wolf in the crowd yelled.Tana smirked and walked closer to me. She looked at me from head to toe and I felt my knees buckle underneath me. Beads of sweat began to form on my forehead.Tana. One of Sorcha’s closest friends. She was just as strong as her and she was someone you would not want to mess with.“Let’s see. I am mad that Sorcha got sent to live in that pig house because of a pathetic wolf like you. Maybe this is the right time to take o

CLAIRE's POVThe air seemed to shift and become still. There was a menacing aura all around the air, I could feel it. And there was only one person that could cause this phenomenon.Dominik.He stood at the door, glaring at me like I had done something wrong. What had I done to warrant his presence in my room? And then it clicked. I had shown my powers, powers that he specifically told me to hide.I swallowed and shot up from the bed. Aurora was trembling beside me as her eyes remained fixed on Dominik. Dominik marched up to me, and it felt like my heart was going to stop beating.“You are coming with me, now,” Dominik ordered.Before I could ask why or protest, he grabbed my wrists and began to pull me with him. I looked back at Aurora and she was sitting on the bed, shaking like a wet kitten. I gave her a reassuring smile and Dominik pulled me out of the room.As he pulled me along the hallway, his grip on my wrist tightened even more.“D-Dominik, it hurts, please let go,” I pleaded

CLAIRE's POV“So you are saying that you had a dream...where this strange woman appeared to you?” Aurora asked.I nodded as I paced around the room, my eyes glued to the floor as I was deep in thought.“What else happened?”“Well, the whole place where I stood was dark, and then this woman, who was the only source of light, led me somewhere,” I said as I recounted the dream in my head.“And what did this place look like?”I paused and looked at Aurora.“It...was dark, just like everywhere else,” I explained.Aurora titled her head and gave me a confused look.“The woman told me something, she said that the pack house is not a safe place for me, that someone is after my life here,”Aurora’s confusion turned to worry. “Someone wants to kill you here?”I nodded and ran a hand through my hair.“Those were her words. But it was just a dream. I do not need to heed to her words, but I cannot ignore the fact that her words felt so true.” I said.I pondered again and continued.“Another strang
